Richmond,  kept  10,  ltf04. 
Sir: 

Your  attention  is  directed  to  certain  errors  in  the 
amended  tax  act  of  1863,  as  printed  in  the  digest  of  tax  laws 
published  in  pamphlet  form  by  this  office.  In  section  10,  page  9, 
the  following  words  are  erroneously  inserted,  and  are  not  em- 
braced in  the  act  as  amended  and  approved  on  17th  day  of  Febru- 
ary, 1864,  to  wit:  Commencing  in  the  second  line  of  section  10. 
the  erroneous  words  are,  *"  after  reserving  for  his  own  use  fifty 
bushels  of  sweet  potatoes  and  fifty  bushels  of  Irish  potatoes,  one 
hundred  bushels  of  the  corn  or  fifty  bushels  of  the  wheat  pro- 
duced in  the  present  year:"  and  at  the  end  of  the  last  line  at  bot- 
tom of  page  9,  the  word  '/sweet,''  and  in  the  beginning  of  the 
first  line  en  pnge  10,  the  wovd  "and,"  are  erroneously  inserted, 
a*  sweet  potatoes  are  not  subject  to  the  tax  in  kind  under  the  act 
us  it  now  stands.  Then  beginning  in  the  seventh  line  from  top 
same  page,  the  words  "after  reserving  twenty  bushels  of  peas  or 
beans,  but  not  more  than  twenty  bushels  of  both  for  his  own  use," 
are  also  erroneously  inserted,  and  are  not  in  the  act  as  approve! 
and  as  it  now  stands  on  the  statute  book. 

T.   ALLAN, 
Commissioner  of  Taxes.
